    These Three Songs Should've Been Status Quo Singles in 1991!

    1991 was a whirlwind year for Status Quo. From the record-breaking "Rock Till You Drop" event—playing four UK gigs in under 12 hours—to the release of the studio album of the same name, the band was everywhere. But looking back at the singles chosen (and those that were cancelled, like 'Fakin' the Blues'), did they miss a trick? In this episode of The Quo-Cast, I’m diving deep into the 1991 era to discuss three tracks that I believe were missed opportunities for hit singles. These songs capture that classic Quo energy and, in my opinion, could have stood toe-to-toe with their biggest hits. In this video, we discuss: The Context of 1991: The influence of 'The Anniversary Waltz' and the return to a harder rock edge. Missed Opportunity #1: 'All We Really Want to Do' – Why this Rossi/Frost composition had all the hallmarks of an archetypal Quo single. Missed Opportunity #2: 'One Man Band' – A Rick Parfitt powerhouse that became a live favourite. Missed Opportunity #3: 'Better Times' – The "lost" b-side that captured the high-energy, 70s-style speed the fans love. What do you think? Do you agree with my picks, or is there another hidden gem from the 'Rock Till You Drop' album that you think should have been a single? Let me know your thoughts on the album and the 1991 era in the comments below!
